Both the versions at Péclard and Sprüngli (I prefer the original) are excellent~ Incredibly creamy, insanely delicious 😀

Because Sprüngli is more accessible, I’ll go there for a leisurely breakfast on my all free days. It’s wonderful to be sitting there undisturbed, a book in hand, a bowl of classic b.m. before me, and the view of Paradeplatz behind me.

I love it when cities have their own Top 10 or Best 100 or whatever-the-name must-eat list.. It makes dining out so much easier since someone has already done the homework for me, haha. When I was in San Francisco, I used the 2011 Big Eat San Francisco (100 Things to Try Before You Die) guide as my holy grail a reference for most of my meals.

#41 on the list is the Ahi Tuna Burger at Gott’s Roadside (formerly Taylor’s Automatic Refresher).

1 Ferry Building, Marketplace Shop 6, San Francisco

That’s 5 ounces of fresh Ahi tuna you’re looking at. Seared rare with ginger wasabi mayo and Asian slaw on toasted sourdough bread (default version comes with egg bun but I changed that since Frisco is known for her sourdough), it’s so flavourful and very very tasty. Best burger ever!!

Oh ya, the cheeseburger (below) is looking good as well!

Burgers without fries is such a big no-no, so we continued to pile on the calories with the most amazing sweet potato fries, giant onion rings and shoestring garlicky garlic fries. I’m a sucker for anything sweet potato so the SP fries are naturally a winner for me; they were so crispy, with a great balance of sweet and salty. Addictive fries they were! Can’t blame me for dominating them and more or less ignoring the rest, eh?

Desperate for haemul pajeon, a.k.a. Korean seafood pancake (what were you thinking?!), which I was determined to try at least once.

We popped into a random eatery off a side street near Dongdaemun and yay, the pancake was thankfully delicious! Rather thin, and not starchy at all! Gone in a flash, I think this is even better than pizza, haha.

Can’t say the same for my cold noodles though. The icy cold broth (with ice cubes!) was refreshing, but I couldn’t get over how chewy the noodles were.
